    Making the case for perfection. "Grenade" as played in Appalachia.

    I've been watching Kappa and her daughters play Bluegrass music on Youtube since the fiddle player, Emma, was about 7 years old. Often, they will take a contemporary pop song and give it their unique twist with the mandolin and fiddle featured prominently. Kappa and her girls never cease to...

    German airliner crashes in French Alps.

    It's still very early in the investigation, but authorities are suggesting the 28 year-old co-pilot deliberately crashed the plane into a mountainside, killing all 150 people on board.

    Starbucks conversation starter fizzles.

    What was this man thinking? The CEO of Starbucks instructed/encouraged his store employees to initiate conversations with patrons about race. Colossal failure. Stick to gouging customers on coffee. Race relations are so horrible under the Obama administration it would be wise to let passions...

    ISIS plans more human burnings.

    Apparently, ISIS thinks killing its captives by burning them alive in cages is a good tactic. The poor Jordanian military pilot was just the first. Beheadings have lost their shock value. Until some horror greater than being immolated can be found, ISIS captives face a ghastly end. ISIS...

    National Prayer Breakfast 2015.

    Whose idea was it to have Barack Hussein speak at the annual National Prayer Breakfast this year? Do US Presidents ordinarily attend these functions? Regardless, it provided a forum for Obama to do what he does best: Christian-bashing and trash talking the United States. Obama's comments...

    Should the US impose a travel ban to and from Ebola-stricken nations of West Africa?

    Would it be good public policy for our government to impose a temporary travel ban to and from Western African nations, such as Liberia, where the Ebola virus is rampant? Is our federal government overstating the ability of the US healthcare system to deal immediately and effectively with...

    Does ISIS understand great forces will soon align against them?

    ISIS slaughters and slaughters and slaughters. In the most horrific way, they slaughter men, women and children. ISIS taunts the civilized world. Soon, very soon ISIS will be subjected to overwhelming military power. ISIS cannot be seen as part of the human race. When the Western Allies...

    South Carolina...just like our old Kentucky home. Not exactly.

    My wife and I moved to Myrtle Beach in February and we have been enormously pleased overall. Our home sets 500 feet from the beach and nearly everyday we learn new things about coastal life and the subtle differences in biodiversity found in South Carolina. Horry County is rampant with deer...
